Great opportunity at CrowdStrike! I've heard they have an AI-focused cybersecurity platform. Anyone have any experience working there as a data scientist?

Yes! Their Falcon platform uses machine learning to help detect outliers and predict threats. It's very cool stuff. Exciting to hear they're expanding!

Definitely sounds exciting! Looking at the job description, what tools/languages are required? Anyone know?

Python, as well as experience with Spark, SQL, and ideally TensorFlow. They're looking for a specialist, so expect advanced topics to surface!

You can find it here: [Senior Data Scientist Position](https://jobs.crowdstrike.com/jobs/senior-data-scientist). They emphasize experience with NLP, computer vision, and graph embedding.

I have a friend who works there. Says the company culture is great and there's a strong emphasis on coding standards.

WPNS (Worries about Picking the 'Next Stack') -- would I be stuck using just one stack?

Definitely not, CrowdStrike is a technology-agnostic company. From what I understand, you'd be working with your team to use the right tool for the job.

Quoting from the 'I Got Funded by YC' series, I think I remember the CrowdStrike presentation being about their 'globally distributed real-time network monitoring,' which can be quite exciting for a data scientist.

The mothership of endpoint security, nice! Would someone want to give an offset opinion about work-life balance and benefits?

Experience working with data at CrowdStrike as a data scientist means understanding incident response, major breaches, and threat intelligence. Everything a pure data scientist doesn't usually face, one would think, so it sounds like an exciting challenge!

This is going to sound like an odd question, but I remembered hearing the co-founder mention that they were using Python, Postgres, and Elasticsearch for their threat intelligence setup -- can anyone verify this? I can't seem to dig up any info...

That is accurate -- my colleague who works in threat intel said they do have a large ELK stack for data management! Quick discovery.
